The Stokes county people are wax
ing up to the Importance of the min
eral depoaits Of that section, and par
ticularly to the immensity of the iron
which is in sthe form of magnetic, he
Matte and limonite. 1t has been said
that the iron of that county was con-
srolled by single individual and that
it could not be had for reasonable pri-
ces. The editor of the Danbury Re
porter and Post, in lcng article shows
the talacy of such statement by Civ
ing the homes or more than fifty own
ecs of beds or veins of this material.
Each mans property is described
briefly and the conclusion is reached
that there must be no end to the de
posit, or else the lands described are
valueless from the composition of the
ore. This is hardly the case, for iron
las been worked in that region in the
long ago, and it is there to-day in un-
Limited .quantity. There are bright
prospects ahead for that section the
advance or the Cape Fear and Yad
kin Valley Railroad will open up this
valuable field to the world and these
people will realize Auch from these
natural store houses of wealth.-iSaHs-

The Founding of Rutherford C ollege.

About the year 1850, John Ruth
erford, Esq, of Burke county, made a
donation Of 400 acres of land, IL miles
west of Hickory, and 10 miles east of
Morganton on which to build college
for boys and girls of limited means.
Rev. r. l.. Abernethy, d. D., a man
of great intellect and ability, in the
prime of his manhood, took charge of
the donation and commenced the
school. Part of the land was sold in
lots and soon a small town sprang up.
A postoffice was established and now
there is in the place 200 inhabitants,
thirty or forty residences, one or two
stores, church and the college.
When DIR. Abernethy first opened
the school in 1858, it was in very
small house, and with only very few
scholars 1t did good and gradually
built up. AS the attendance increased,
additions to the house we're necessary,
and now by building little at the time
there stands on the hill in beautiful
grove, large and commodious college
building. For many years the aver
age attendance has been between 200
and 300 students Hundreds of boys
and girls haye been educated here
and made useful men and women, who
might have been denied an education.
DR.. Abernethy has done more for the
poor boys and girls in North Carolina
than any man in the State, and he
certainly deserves all the praise that
can be bestowed upon him.
a board of trust has been formed
and the college hopes to raise an en-
dowment of $50, 900 this year.-Char-

A HISTORIC BOOK.
THE FAMILY BIBLE OF GENERAL
ROBERT E. LEE.

Taken from his Home During the War
and Carried 20 Maine, it Is at Last
Recovered by his Heirs.
From tYe Boston Globe1
Twenty-Five years ago regiment
OF Eaine soldiers were encrmped on
Arlington Heights, and the boys, un-
derstanding that anything belonging
to the Rebels was common property
and, therefore, subject to confiscation,
ransacked the old Lee mansion pretty
thoroughly. They captured old pipes
and cigars and wines and pictures and
everything that was portable. OF
course, they did not need many of
these things. Such articles which had
belonged to Fen. Gee had peculiar
interest and were very desirable. One
soldier, who arrived late, after the de-
sirable articles had been taken, found
the old family Bible, and sent it down
East to his home in Maine. There
were Bibles in Maine, but none like
this. After the war was over this SOL
dier returned home, and found, to his
surprise, that the Bible contained all
the usual Ingredients, including the
ten commandments and Apocrypha,
but in addition to these, between the
Old and the New Testaments, was a
complete family record giving the his
tory of the Lee family for the past
two hundred years.
The solder was sorry that he had
taken the book, but too proud to ac-
knowledge the fault, and SO he held
his peace. In the meanwhile biogra-
phere were at work on the life of Gen.
Lee and certain dates regarding the
birth and marriage of his ancestors
were wanting. If an old family bible
could be found it would afford the
necessary information. Advertise
ments were inserted in all the paprrs,
and by and by came letter from
Maine saying the Bible was in posses
sion of a soldiers widow, who would
gladly restore it to the owner Be
fore the property could be recovered,
however, the widow died, and then
came another long wait until the es-
tate was settled. But at last the book
was fully identified and turned over
to messenger, who passed through
Bostod yesterday, carrying it back to
its old place at Arlington Heights.
The foolish act act of boy soldier
has hindered the completion of an i'm
portant historical work for years, but
the Bible is at last restored to its
owner, and the biographer oan now
complete his task.

Marriage in California.

The female sex are all in this land
boom, says the San Francisco Chro,,i-
Gle. Well, it will help to solve very
troublesome question. Men have al
ways had to get houses and lots to
have home to take their wives to.
1t has always, except in a few odd
cases, been expected that the man
will come to the woman, go down on
his. knees and say:
RESPECTED madam, I would marry
thee; | have a house furnished, I
have money in the bank can give
you little home, over which you
shall reign as queen. Come and be
my wife"
Then the young woman packed up
her clothes and took away from the
house of her father and mother all
the little bric-a-brac other fellows
had given her, and fitted off to rule
in her own little domain. Now for a
small amount woman can buy a lot;
she can for another small sum build q
house, and for third small sum fur
nish it. Then she can go to a man
who hasn't any home but lodgings,
and who lives at restaurant, and take
him by the arm and say:
RESPECTED sir, have a house and
lot close by cable car line. would
marry thee. can give you a home
as is home, where you can reign as
king, where you can get something
to eat as is worth eating; where you
will be happy as clam
Then the man will go home and
give his landlady weeks notice, buy
new suit of clothes, burn all his
knick- knacks given him by other
girls, and move into the house and
lot, and when the king begins to as
sert his powers in that 25x120 king
dom, the queen will get up and put on
her crown, and get hold of her scep-
ter and bang it over his head and
say:
There amt no Salic law in this
kingdom, I reckon"
Thep it will be millennium time
for women.

Mr.. Davis visit to Macon.

The approaching visit of Hon. JEFF
ferson Davis to Macon recalls an in
cident of his capture near that city in
May, 1895. After the surrender of
Lees army, the President ofthe fallen
Confederacy was captured by Federal
troops near Irwinton, Georgia, and
brought to Macon. 1t was an hour of
midnight darkness to the Southern
people. Despair and fearful forebod-
ings weighed down the stoutest hearts.
President Andrew Johnston had is-
sued proclamation from Washing
ton offering reward for the capture
of Mr.. Davis as an accomplice in the
murder of Lincoln. Although Gen.
Wilson, the Federal commandant at
Macon, treated his prisoner with sold
ierly politeness, the people were afraid
to show the fallen chieftain any SYM
pathy. AS the carriage containing
the prisoner started off from the hotel
the Rev. Sam Boykin, who is now
State Sunday School Evangelist of
Georgia, rushed forth, and, seizing
the hand of the captive with tears
gushing from his eyes, said
Goodbye, Mr.. Davis. l will say
God bless you if they kill me-"

The Bellows, a North Carolina Inven-
tion.

It is not generally known that the
Fan Bellows ls the invention of
Chatamite. Yet such is the case. We
have had the pleasure of examining
Letter Patent granted by our Govern
ment to. Jesse Dixon of Chatham, in
1927. It is done in parchment in ex-
cellent style, and signed by John
Quincy Adams, President, 81. Clay
Secretary of State, and William Writ.
Attorney General. This is genuine
document. These signatures were
done by these men themselves, and
not simply fac-simile of their auto
graphs. The great seal Of the nation
is attached. It grants exclusive rights
and privileges to the inventor for the
period of fourteen years.
jesse Dixon lived on Cane creek
and was of that same estimable family
of that name that live in the same Sec
ton. Having conceived the plan of
improvement in the bellows, he pro-
ceeded to make model of his inven-
tion. But how was he to utilize it
without patent? To secure this it
was necessary that he should take his
model to the National Capital. AT
that time there was not locomotive
engine in America, and Mr.. Dixon
was under the necessity of finding
come other means of transportation
than by steam. He rigged up one
horse wagon, put his machine upon it
and thus carried it to Washington
City. Hon. John Long was then our
member of Congress. Through his
friendly interest the invention was
brought to the notice Of the Govern
ment. It was seen at once that it was
an invention of great merit, and a
patent was at once granted.
1t is not claimed that Mr.. Dixon
invented the bellows. The use of this
machine goes back to time immemo
rable. jeremiah speaks of the bellows
and the blowmen. Ezekiel tells US Of
gathering "silver and brass and tin
and brass and lead, into the midst of
the furnace, 70 blow the fire upon it
| to melt it." Homer describes the fur
mace in which the iron shield of Achil-
les was forged as being blown up by
| twenty bellows. His was the moral
; nd original plan of throwing draughts
of air by means of FAM He never
was pro6ted greatly by his invention,
important as it was. His name is
hardly now known in connection with
it. Whitney invented the cotton gin
and achieved fame. Dixon invented
the fan bellows and is forgotten and
yet his invention is as extensively
used and as important as the GIN
Pittsbor0 Home.

A FACE

/ saw a face among a motley crowd
It was not young and soft, and wondrous
fair
To look at, but rarer beauty there
Ofnobler stamp. A heart with love endow'd,
Bright shining thro' as sunshine through
cloud
Spreading new light and warmth thro' all
the air,
Where just before was darkness every
where,
As s'er heart that is in sorrow bowed.
It was a face that showed deep lines of care,
Lines not to mar, but making strong and
grand,
Graved sharp and long by master
They're traced with skill upon some canvas
rare,
face wherein all baser passions died,
And all the nobler iD their fullnes smiled,
chfld's fair promise, pure and undefled
Thro' years of trials strengthened, beautifsd.
Such was the face 1 saw. Sharp was tho
thrill
That filled my heart with longings new
and strange
All things within me seemed to melt and
change
From fainting and falt'ring new strength
did fill
My every purpose, and voice, al will"
Spoke resolutely deep within my heart,
And glad answered, "God will take my
part
: For every good and save me from the ill"
And was this wrought by looking at a facet
I know not how, nor dare to inquire
By what ofpower. Ifby the holy fire
That shone through eyes with loving, stead
fast gaze
Or by the smile that gave it strength and
grace,
Or, at the moment, did inward glance
At my own heart, and saw the face by
chance
Among a thousand in the market place?

The Builders Law.

Not many people about to give out
contracts for buildings, are aware of
the change in The Code, passed by
the last Legislature, and to fully &C
quaint those with the workings of the
new law, we append Section I.
The General Assembly of North Caro-
Tina do enact:
SECTION I. That Chapter Al of
The Code, be amended by adding the
following sections thereto
That whenever any contractor shall
make contract for building, altering
or repairing any building with the
owner thereof, it shall be his duty to
furnish the owner or his agent, before
receiving any part of the contract
price, as it may become due, an item
ized statement of the amount owing to
any laborer, mechanic or artisan em-
ployed by such contractor, or any per-
son for materials furnished, and upon
the delivery to the owner or his agent
of the itemlzed statement aforesaid, it
shall be the duty of the owner to re-
tain from the money then due the
contractor, a sum not exceeding the
price contracted for which will be
sufficient to pay such laborers or me-
chanics for labor done, or person for
material furnished, which amount the
owner shall pay directly to laborer OF
furnisher of material. Provided that
the owner may retain in his hands
until the contract is completed, such
sum or sums as may have been agreed
on between him and the contractor as
IL guaranty of faithful performance OF
contract. Provided further, that when
such contract is performed such fund
reserved as a guaranty shall be liable
to the payment of the sum due the la
borer of mechanic for labor done OF
material furnished.
